Monarez said there was a meeting in which she says Kennedy told her to preemptively accept recommendations from a CDC vaccine advisory panel and to fire career officials overseeing vaccine policy.

"I would not commit to that, and I believe it is the true reason I was fired," Monarez said. She later added, "I was fired for holding the line on scientific integrity."
...
Monarez on Wednesday, however, testified Kennedy told her the childhood vaccine schedule would be changing in September and "I needed to be on board with it." Monarez said Kennedy spoke to President Trump "every day" about changing the childhood vaccine schedule.

"He did not have any data or science to point to," Monarez said. "As a matter of fact, we got into an exchange where I had suggested that I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive, and he responded that there was no science or evidence associated with the childhood vaccine schedule. And he elaborated that CDC had never collected the science or data to make it available related to the safety and efficacy."

"To be clear, he said there was not science or data, but that he still expected you to change the schedule?" Sen. Cassidy asked.
...
Cassidy's decision to pursue oversight of the CDC turmoil signifies a new, firmer era for his relationship with Kennedy -- a shift was on full display during Kennedy's own hearing before the Senate earlier this month.

The senator accused Kennedy of undermining President Donald Trump's legacy on Operation Warp Speed, the government effort that fast-tracked the COVID vaccine, and told him recent FDA changes to COVID vaccines were "denying" people access.
This could go in the trump's qabinet or MAQA civil war threads as well.
She got fired because she wouldn't can the dipshits who believe children 6 mo old need a Covid shot. The guidelines were changed to reflect the gold standard of tiered risk.

Are you aware that COVID causes 6-8 cases of myocarditis per 10,000 shots in children? Are you aware children suffer so little from Covid they can't even calculate if the vaccine is beneficial? Not enough kids being admitted to hospitals to get real stats. The shot is more risk than reward.

Canning Monarez was the right thing to do.

She got fired because she has a spine and scruples, neither of which are allowed in the trump regime.

No. She got fired because she would not follow science. What about the risk of vaccinating 6 month old infants being greater than the reward do you not understand?

worm brain and trump aren't following science. They should be fired too.

She got fired by a junkie - he's probably already forgotten the whole thing entirely. :coffee:

"And if you absolutely must go to the beach, for the sake of all that's holy, wear a mask. Outside? Because the last thing you would want to do when a disease is afoot is get fresh air and sunshine and vitamin D. No, much better to stay locked up, stressed out and day drinking," he added.“

Maher also criticized what he described as an unwillingness at the time to acknowledge natural immunity as effective protection against the virus. He quipped that "if you do get COVID, remember, natural immunity is always the worst kind. So, even if you've had the disease, you need a shot."

Interesting this came up, we're just hitting the 6 year mark of when things really started to go haywire back in 2020. Our 6 year "gotcha" anniversary of getting our two dogs just came up yesterday. We picked them up on the Monday, and then I think on Thursday of the same week the governor in PA closed everything, schools included, and everything screeched to a halt. I still went to work everyday as my business was classified as essential, but the kids wouldn't go back to school until September (we were a district that got kids back into school with masks and other accommodations right in the fall - some other schools would take another 12 months to do that). Still amazing that we went through all of that.

Sounds hopeless right… I realize the chances are slim of having any benefit for pancreatic cancer, but you can’t write it off yet.

why would anyone be opposed to studying it further?

What about aspirin?

Metformin?


From the pre-clinical study

“The ivermectin–gemcitabine combination inhibited cell proliferation via G1 arrest of the cell cycle, as evidenced by the downregulation of cyclin D1 expression and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3) signaling pathway. Ivermectin–gemcitabine increased cell apoptosis by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction via the overproduction of reactive oxygen species and decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential. This combination treatment also decreased the oxygen consumption rate and inhibited mitophagy, which is important for cancer cell death. Moreover, in vivo experiments confirmed that the ivermectin–gemcitabine group had significantly suppressed tumor growth compared to the gemcitabine alone group. These results indicate that ivermectin exerts synergistic effects with gemcitabine, preventing pancreatic cancer progression, and could be a potential antitumor drug for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.”

I'm all for studying further but your twitter hero was spreading FAKE News when they tweeted:

Ivermectin & Fenbendazole cure cancer.
I have colon cancer and my prognosis is excellent. Surgery removed the tumor and likely any other bit of cancer. Chemo is to make sure there wasn't a small bit that went undetected. I have no doubt that if it comes back in the future, medicine will have advanced even further.

Research, studies, and posted results are great when conducted by a reliable institution and released via serious sources like NIH, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, etc.

Thank you.

So it’s not a medical entity it’s a marketing company for entrepreneurs with some interesting articles. These are the type of sources not allowed in my cirrhosis support group. There may be SOME decent information or theories but it’s not worth sifting through the rest of the bs to find out if something is legit.

When studies come along with exciting possibilities, places like the NIH are careful to flag them as limited research or mire studies are needed. Once actual breakthroughs occur after rigorous study and trials, you’ll read about them in the reliable sources or hear it from your specialist.
